tungsten is a very strong and brittle metal. there are no darts made from 100% tungsten. it is always made with an alloy as tungsten is very brittle. the alloys are usually nickel, zinc and brass.
I know some people who paid hundreds of dollars for their darts. I think you can get a decent set of 80% tungsten darts for around US$40. If you're just starting to throw and not sure you want to spend so much at this point, you have the option of starting with brass darts. They're quite a bit thicker that tungsten darts, but they're a lot cheaper, too.
Darts come in a variety of materials, weights and grips. The most common metals used in the production of darts are brass, nickel silver and tungsten. Brass is inexpensive and is perfect for the home recreational player and the occasional pub game. Nickel Silver has the same attributes of brass but is tarnish resistant. Tungsten is extremely dense, three times denser than brass & nickel silver, and is popular because of its weight to size ratio resulting in a heavier weight in a smaller mass. If two barrels, one made of brass and one made of tungsten, the same weight were compared you would see that the tungsten barrel is 3 times smaller than the brass barrel. These important features make tungsten the material of choice for the more serious dart shooter.
the firefly uses special glow in the dark micro darts, but can fire sonic micro darts, streamline micro darts, regular suction micro darts, and any other micro darts you can get
The points of darts have traditionally been made of steel. In fact, the sport is often referred to as steel-tip darts, even though most points today consist of at least 80% tungsten (for added strength).
Just clean them with acetone, you don't really want to polish them as they will become slippy and slide out of your hand.

Unfortunately, there is no possible way to do this since the head of the Streamline and the Buzz Be darts are different, and the stem of the dart is significantly shorter than that of a regular Nerf Dart.

there are Nerf streamlines which are used in guns that take clips (not the magstrike), dart tags that have Velcro on the tip, sonic darts which whistle when they shoot, and suction darts that can stick onto walls
Tungsten metal doesn't have any charge. In its compounds, tungsten can have different oxidation states / charges. The most common formal oxidation state of tungsten is +6, but it exhibits all oxidation states from −2 to +6.
Both are different. Tungsten in an element whereas a carbide is a compound composed of carbon and a less electronegative element.
